These key hires reflect Pro Global’s continued commitment to growth and client service excellence in the German market. Both will be based in the company’s Cologne office.

In his new role, Hannig will support and expand relationships with Pro Global’s leading re/insurance clients across Germany, with a focus on managing complex employee disability claims.

He is an experienced lawyer and complex claims specialist, joining Pro Global from Gen Re Corp, where he spent the past 13 years, most recently serving as Claims Executive.

Schippa will strengthen Pro Global’s capabilities in product development and optimisation, bringing deep expertise in technology, data analysis, insurance product innovation, underwriting, and risk management.

He joins from Proventum, where he was Sales & Business Development Manager. Prior to that, he served as Senior Business Developer at adesso insurance solutions GmbH and spent nearly 16 years at HDI Group.

Hannig commented, “I am thrilled to be joining the experts at Pro at such an exciting point in the team’s growth and development. The business is strengthening its presence in the German market, where it already has a well-established reputation for excellence. In a digital-first world, firms must keep pace with innovation. As the new Head of Client Engagement, I am committed to leveraging our expert research and data-driven insights to support (re)insurers in efficiently managing complex disability employer liability claims. Our goal is to help domestic and international insurers, both existing and new clients, operating in Germany be as efficient, fair, and compliant as possible.

“By facilitating more seamless communication, flexible workflows, and automation where it adds value, I aim to free up staff resources for leading re/insurers, ensuring a stronger, more transparent claims process that benefits both insurers and policyholders.”

Schippa added, “I am delighted to join the growing and successful Pro Global team in Germany. The market environment in occupational disability insurance is constantly and rapidly changing, creating new challenges and opportunities for insurers and MGAs. In addition to continuously improving our current service portfolio, I will focus on driving product innovation and constantly expanding our range of offerings so that our clients are equipped with the best possible solutions. With my background in technology, data analytics and claims management, I look forward to working closely with our partners to develop customised, data-driven solutions that improve resilience, efficiency and compliance in the complex claims space. By applying expert knowledge and utilising advanced analytics, we can help insurers make more informed decisions and achieve better outcomes for their policyholders.”

Roman Claren, Managing Director of Pro Global Germany, said, “I’m delighted to welcome both Roman and Oliver to Pro Global Germany as we continue to strengthen our position in this key market – a space we are well-established and see significant growth opportunities. Their combined expertise in claims management, product development, and regulatory compliance is a testament to the strength of demand in Germany and our wider team expansion efforts.

We recognise the power of data in shaping claims strategies, refining products, and anticipating market developments. Roman and Oliver’s insights will be invaluable in further enhancing efficiency and delivering even greater value to our clients, particularly in managing complex disability employer liability claims with a focus on fairness, compliance, and operational excellence.”
